CAN YOU TELL US ANOTHER STORY ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS FOR OTHR THAT HAPPENED DURING THEIR DEVELOPMENT?
The idea for The Carved Bowls came from the texture left by a spoon from eating yoghurt. When the idea came about, I first worked with a turner to realize it in a cylinder of wood. The first version of the prototype came from using this tool with different axes of rotation. One axis of rotation for each cavity. And after I had the samples in wood, I transferred the object to 3D format. It was the opposite of the normal process, in which the design is generally done starting with sketches in the 3D program and later moves from the digital format to analogue. But this time was different. Collaborating with the craftsman and later selecting the best remaining samples to transfer them to digital was a very interesting process.
The version of the product that we make now is ceramic. I find it interesting because it's a material that can be washed so it can be used in other environments like hotels, restaurants and in kitchen presentations, where I see a lot of perspective.
